Thanks to the prominent Assyrian activist, Gaby Kiwarkis, and all who helped, the rally took place and was successful, where the Australian government understood for the first time what we want and why we have "martyres"

...I guarantee you they understood what you hope to gain by CALLING victims "martyrs". Unlike the rest of you, English speaking people tend to know the meaning of the words in their language...Westerners don't like the word "martyr"...they know that mostly it means something negative..such as someone who makes a big deal of their suffering in order to gain sympathy.

..they NEVER refer to their soldiers, or wounded, or killed as "martyrs"...the very idea embarrasses them...if they use it at all it is with a heavy dose of sarcasm...because they feel no one should choose to be killed over something...if an American soldier remains behind and is killed making sure his buddies escape, they would NEVER call him a "martyr"...whereas you people call anyone who drops dead of fright a martyr. People who are killed are VICTIMS..they are not martyrs...but, go ahead...go ahead and keep wondering why, besides getting patted on the head, no one does a damn thing about your "plight"...another word you don't understand.

..it would take a million years of evolution before you people realized that you shhot yourselves in the head...every time!

..No one wants to wound your fragile sensibilities, which they can sense from the way you carry on and on about your agendas...they are humoring you...like everyone else does.
